Why can we not watch video on iPad from NBC web page

Flash is not supported on the iPad - and as Adobe have never managed to make a version of their flash player that works on iOS devices, and they have recently announced that they are stopping development on all mobile versions of it, it probably never will be.

Browser apps such as Skyfire, iSwifter, Puffin and Photon 'work' on some sites, but judging by their reviews not all sites. Also some websites, especially news and TV sites, have their own apps in the App Store - so you could check to see if NBC have any apps.

In the case of NBC, just download their app. It works great and is a good work around for the lack of flash.

PBS and ABC also have good apps.
